Shells in Rhode Island

Each shell is made in a different yarn. Limpets stiches and shell added to the surface

Paua has only one shell and sticks to the rocks with its big "foot". It is a favourite sea food - especially sought after by the indigenous race - the Maori. Used extensively in jewellery and exported for that and its meat. Usually harvested by scuba and snorkel divers.

The Monarch Islands are off the west coast of North Uist. Uninhabited by people but home to so many seals. There were dark patches on the beach which on closer inspection proved to be areas of shells that had only partly been broken down by the waves to make the glorious white sand that makes up the stunning beaches the Hebrides are known for. Why were they in these clearly defined patches? I don't know, but the shapes and colours of these fragments fascinate me.

In lockdown so can't get out, however the sun obliged by lighting the shed. Art on the doorstep. Cropped & edited in Photoshop.

Pastel, pen and ink, marker

Two shells from a resale shop. I've been playing with backgrounds. This one is pastel, sealed in with acrylic gel medium. The squares are from an old dictionary, painted with sepia ink, stamped, and faded in places with bleach.

At my aunt's house!!

She loves sea shells, and so do I ^^

A shell I found on the beach a month ago caught the light this morning.

I ripped these photos out of a MS magazine several months ago, and finally got around to photographing them. It's pretty amazing what people can do with shells.

Well it was suppose to focus on the shells, but I did something wrong. : ) Still pretty.

Shot on a piece of plate glass, with black seamless taped to the bottom. Shaped hole cut to allow light to pass through. Glass was set on a 20" long piece of 12" diameter concrete form tube (Home Depot). I lined the tube with silver lame fabric from Jo-Anns, set it on top of a silver reflector fabric and suspended a 580 EX (@ 1/8th power ) 10" up and aimed down.

A 2nd 580 EX at 1/128th power on a light stand with Honl 20 deg grid is positioned camera right to bring back some of the texture of the shell.
